CHARLES A. GLICKERT, OF

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

GAG-E.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A.' GLICKERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Gage, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce an efficient but simple tool by means of which the angles of wedges or coniform members may be accurately determined, the tool being preferably embodied in conjunction with a micrometer member, although not necessarily so.

The accompanying drawings illustrate a desirable micrometer form of my invention.

Figure l is a plan; Fig. 2 an axial section; Fig. 3 a fragmentary detail on line 3, 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a plan on a smaller scale of a slight modication.

In the drawings, 10 indicates a main body provided near one end with an upwardly eX- tending sleeve 11, within which is journaled a pin 12 preferably formed integral with a. rotary gage head 13 said head being formed with an annular socket lt concentric with pin 12 for the reception of the sleeve 11. Head 13 is provided with a gage face 15 which is parallel with the axis of pin 12 and preferably extends through said axis. Main body 10 is provided at one end with a bracket or arm 17 in which is mounted an abutment rod 18 provided with a head 19 adapted to coperate with the gage face 15, the rod 18 being movable in a right line so as to shift the abutment 19 toward and from the gage face 15. i

It will be understood that the character of mounting of the rod 18 may be considerably varied and in the present drawings I have shown this mounting as of the micrometer type. For this purpose, bracket 17 is provided with a tubular extension 21 within which the rod 18 is journaled for both rotative and axial movement. The end of rod 18 is provided with screw threads 22 which are threaded through threads 23 formed within the bore of sleeve 2-1. Threaded upon threads 22 is a gage sleeve 24 held in any desired position upon the threads 22 by a check nut 25. Gage sleeve 24: lits snugly over sleeve 21 and is provided with the usual scale 26 which cooperates with a scale 27 marked upon sleeve 21.

Secured to main body 10 and lying at right angles to the axis of pin 12 is a plate Specification of Letters Patent.

31 provided with a protractor scale 32 which is arranged to be traversed by an indicator finger 33 carried by head 13. The plate 31 may be formed integral with the main body 10 if desired but it is desirable to have it detachable as shown.

I prefer to have the head 13, with its pin 12, readily removable from the tool but yet so mounted as not to be readily displaced and for this purpose I' provide pin'12 with a circumferential groove 35 into which projects a locking pin 36 carried by a light spring 37 secured to the side of body`10, the arrangement being such that the pin 12 may be readily withdrawn or replaced. If desired, the tool may also be equipped with an ordinary bar scale 41 provided on its under face with a suitable pin like pin 12.

In operation, the article to be measured may be readily inserted between the face of head 19 and the gage face 15, the said gage face 15 swinging about its axis to the proper angle of the article to be measured. When the head 19 is brought up against the article the reading of the scales 26, 27 will indicate the distance across the beveled article along the line of the axis of the rod 18, between head 19 and gage face 15.

I claim as my invention:

1. An angle gage comprising a main body provided with a tubular standard, a gage head provided with a central pin journaled in the tubular standard, said gage head having a gage face substantially parallel with the axis of the pin, and also having an indicator finger, and a coperating abutment mounted in the main body and movable toward and from the face of said gage head.

2. An angle gage comprising a main body provided with a tubular standard, a prot-ractor plate sleeved over said tubular standard and held upon the main body', a

gage head provided with a central pin journaled in the tubular standard, said gage head having a gage face substantially parallel with the axis of the pin, and also having an indicator finger arranged to coperate with the protractor plate, and a coperating abutment mounted in the main body and movable toward and from the face of said gage head.

3. An angle gage comprising a main body provided with a tubular standard, a gage head provided with a central pin journaled in the tubular standard and having an an-V nular pocket to reeeive said tubular standard, Said gage head having a gage face aubatantially parallel with the axis oit the pin, and also having an indicator linger, and a Cooperating abutment niounted in the main body and movable toward and from the tace oit said gage head.

al.. Ain angle gage eomynisingl a main body provided With a tubular Standard, a protraetor plate Sleeved over Said tubular standard and held upon the main body, a gage head provided with a Central pin journaled in the tulin'ilar standard and having an annular pocket to receive said tubular standard, said gage head having a gage .tace substantially parallel with the axis of the pin, and also having an indicator finger arranged to cooperate with the protraetor plate, and a eotiperating abutmentv mounted in the main body and movable toward and from the 'tace of said gage head.

An angle Comprising a main body provided with a tubular Standard, a gage head provided with a central pin journaled in the tubular Standard, said gage head hav ing a gage tace eubstantiially parallel with the axiS ot the pin, and also having` an indicator linger, a standard Carried by the main body in opposition to the gage head, and a micrometer plunger mounted in said Standard to torni ay cooperating abutment movable toward and Ytrom the tace ot the gage head.

G. An angle gage eomprising a main body provided with a tubular standard, a protractor plate sleeved over Said tubular Stand ard and held upon the main body, a gage head provided with a Central pin journaled in the tubular standard, Said gage head having a gage taee Substantially parallel with the axis ot the pin, and also having an indi- Gator finger arranged to Cooperate with the pro'traetor plate, a Standard Carried by the main body in opposition to the gage head, and a mieroineter plunger mounted in said standard to form a Coperating abutment ino 'able toward and from the tace ot the gage head.

7. An angle gage Comprising a main body provided with a tubular standard, a gage head provided with a central pin journaled in the tubular Standard and having an annular pocket te receive said tubular Standard, Said gage head having a gage tace Sub- Stantially parallel with the axis oit the pin, and aleo having an indieator linger, a `Standard farried by the main body in opposition to the gage head, and a` micrometer plunger mounted :in said standard to form a coperating abutmentinovable toward and from the tace of the gage head.

S. An angle gage eon'iprising a main body provided With a` tubular Standard, a protraetor plate sleeved over Said tubular Standard and held upon the main body, a gage heady provided with a Central pin jonrnaled in the tubular Standard and having an annular pocket to receive Said tubular Stand ard, Said gage head having a gage itaee sub- Stantially parallel with the axis ot the pin, and also having an iinlieator linger arranged to cooperate with the protraetor plate, a standard Carried by the main body in opposition to the gage head, and a micrometer plunger mounted in Said standard to torni a Coi'xperating abutment inovzlgile toward and from the tace oit the gage head.

In Witness whereof. I have hereunto Set my hand and Seal at indianapolis, Indiana, this 19th day ot November, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and ten.
